There are several supposed “appetite suppressants” available for purchase, either on the internet or in retail stores such as GNC. The question is, Do they work?

Nine out of ten times, probably not — and that’s without discussing the potential health implications involved with taking some of these pills. In fact, it’s quite possible that these pill-related health risks that lead Japanese researchers to study the effects of certain color lenses on appetite, discovering that blue-tinted specs helps keep hunger at bay.

According to researchers, viewing the world through blue lenses helps to calm the brain’s appetite center, in addition to blocking red light, which researchers say may stimulates appetite. Needless to say, blue sunglasses are already available for purchase as a weight-loss aid. Now, the question again arises: Do they work? Frankly, I feel it’s not even worth wasting your money on them to find out. Instead, use your hard earned dollars to make a guaranteed weight loss investment in a gym membership and a refrigerator full of healthy food.
